Fuel flap lock re alarm
Hi folks
I was just going through what could be the issue re my alarm not flashing the indicators when locking but does for unlocking. Turns out the filler flap will not lock, having disassembled it, it turns out it will unlock not not lock, therefore the motor is a dud. I have just bought one off of the Bay from Lithuania, as ya do... Anyhoo, long story short my question is, could this be the reason my alarm doesnt flash the lights when arming?

I don't think so. I had the fuel door actuator completely disconnected and the alarm would engage as normal with hazards flashing and dash red light blinking. First place to look is the alarm siren module, then all door, hood and trunk locks which have each a micro switch. Also make sure the sunroof is fully closed, if equipped

The yellow keyfob button is the panic alarm, the siren sounds differently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMpSlDvaNoU
For the bonnet, I actually close it the gentlest I could because when it's slammed, the bolts securing each latch get loose, the latches move a little, and the hood gets stuck and it's not a pleasant situation. To find the bad latch (with the faulty microswitch) Don't know how to find the faulty latch but if it's at the hood, it's the driver's side latch that has a connector to it

Open the drivers door window. Lock the car as usual. Wait a few minutes then wave your arm around through the window. That should set the alarm off! You can also do this sitting still in the drivers seat (raining here!). You really need to know whether the alarm works before further investigation.

You know that the lock on the filler flap takes about 10 mins to lock after locking the doors?

True, but the alarm sets almost immediately.

Nope, evidently i didnt (face palm smiley needed) I did think it strange that it would unlock but not lock....... Dammit, now i got to refit the old one, knew i should have stuck 12v up the motors butt, i was going to but then thought whats the point if it doesnt lock, unbelievable!! Its become a habit just lately, buying items off of the Bay or Amazon that i didnt need in the 1st place. At least it wasnt stupid money and i can put it back on their 0 i spose PS, anyone need a flap lock actuator, only £30 Thanks for the heads up
